Surgical procedures are inherently complex and dynamic, with intricate dependencies and various execution paths. Accurate identification of the intentions behind critical actions, referred to as Primary Intentions (PIs), is crucial to understanding and planning the procedure. This paper presents a n
Accurate anatomical landmark tracking is crucial yet challenging in laparoscopic surgery due to the changing appearance of landmarks during dynamic tool-anatomy interactions and visual domain shifts between cases. Unlike appearance-based detection methods, this work proposes a novel graph-based appr
The original simplicial method (OSM), a variant of the classic Kelley’s cutting plane method, has been shown to converge to the minimizer of a composite convex and submodular objective, though no rate of convergence for this method was known. Moreover, OSM is required to solve subproblems in each it…
